November already!?

Hello all! Isnt this weather wonderful? Above is Ness with his "girlfriend" Evie. They have been able to hang out together since they were practically newborns, but they are just finally starting to play together. Its fun to watch them. They will also BOTH be getting new siblings at the SAME time (due date is separated just a few days). Evie gets a sister, Ness gets a brother. Evie's mom and I talked about switching our babies since she wanted a boy and I thought a girl would be fun but then we decided that our kids look QUITE a bit like us and people may notice...hehe.
Uh OHH. Ness and Daddy playing games! Ness literally sat on Mikes lap for 10 min (until I took him to take a bath) with that remote! Anyone that knows Ness knows that sitting still is not something he EVER does...so sort of scary right?
My helper! I was making shepards pie and got him to "clean" the spoon..yum!
Cheese face!
This is my homemade sushi! It wasnt bad at all.
I cant believe how big Ness is getting...sniff sniff. He was eating peanut butter (his fav) and carrots.
Ness enjoying taking apart Pumpkin Man and Pumpkin Boy....Pokey and Ness played quite a while like this...it was fun.

So how is everything else..hmmm... I am now 5 months pregnant! Its amazing, and it has FLOWN by. Next week is Thanksgiving, next month is Christmas! Yikes! After all the Christmas/New Years stuff is over I will have 2.5 months to get ready for #2, man...time goes by way to fast. We have been busy around here as usual. We have stayed home quite a bit due to sewing and stuff..but this week we went to a few activities (bible study, play date, park), and that was nice. I am caught up with my sewing and that feels good. I know once Thanksgiving is over I will be busy again but its nice for a few days off.
Oh, my sister let us borrow her video monitor and it is the BEST thing! We use it to "spy" on Ness while he is sleeping. It is really cool, especially since I dont think I have ever got to actually watch him sleep. He moves constantly but never cries. And we thought he was taking 2 naps a day...we realize now that he takes one nap and for the other he "plays"/rolls around/kicks his legs/changes pacifiers but never makes a peep! It is kind of a stress reliever bc now we can look at the screen to see if he is awake (if we need to go somewhere or something). It is really fun to watch...we may have to consider getting one for baby #2...I feel like life would have been a ton easier had I had this all along.....

Anyways, of course I will leave you with some SUPER cute-Ness

SUPERMAN!

Sooo..this was Halloween week! We did trick or treating, went to the fair, and all sorts of fun stuff! I also made Ness's Thanksgiving and Christmas outfits (the christmas one has pants but I didnt get a picture). I am VERY proud of the turkey...VERY proud...so proud I may make him start wearing it now! For the christmas one I thought about getting "Merry Christmas" monogrammed on the bottom, I will see today how much that costs (when I go to get a bag monogrammed).
Ness trick or treating from a guy in a robe . He just doesnt understand why they are giving him candy..although he does like to eat the candy (dont worry, we limit it big time). He feel on his face in the very beginning which threw of the "air" of the entire trip but it was still fun. The neighborhood was PACKED with kids. Next year will be more fun for Ness I am sure though.
Getting ready to head out, check out charlies costume! I made it for pokey, but we forgot pokey...so charlie wore it long enough for the picture...it kept falling.
SUPERMAN! He was being goofy (imagine that) and let me get this picture which I LOVE.
The start of his "muscle" face.
This is at the fair. They had a really nice petting zoo (although it may not have been nice a few days into the fair..lol). Ness enjoyed petting the goats.
Sheep! (right?)
And he LOVED the carousel, after he rode it and would see it again he would point to go back. And just as we were going back they closed it for a little while...sad. Maybe next year!?



We are enjoying life with a 15 month old/aka Ness. He is so funny sometimes, and I am learning that he has no problem being the center of attention and might actually enjoy it. He is also passive, if a friend takes away a toy, he finds another. Non-aggressive and super silly. And he is still tactile, LOVES to play with small things, just pick them up, put them back. He is not destructive, and although he "reads" books all day he has never torn one up. Sweet kid.

Speaking of sweet kids...we went to have our ultrasound last week and we found out its ANOTHER BOY! I was shocked out of my mind, I made her check again and again. This little boy didnt give us any good shots though (ness was giving cute pictures) and made it difficult to see all his little parts. I thought I might be a little sad, but really I am excited. I dont have to buy ANYTHING and I Ness will get a new bed-set (that I make) and room for christmas (we plan to paint it and decorate). The new baby will used Ness's old set. We found another bed on craigslist for $125, its just as nice as Ness's and his was $400! We also found a $125 stroller for $15! I cleaned it up and it will look like new! AND it holds a carseat, that is the best feature, I always wished that I had a stroller to hold Ness's carseat...there were times we would strap it on with bungee cords (not the proudest moment as parents..lol). But I am glad I waited, bc had I bought a single I would have just had to buy a double a few months later.
Anyways! I think I need to eat some breakfast before the family wakes up and demands food.
Adios!


I leave you with Cute-Nesses for everyone!
